machine made cigar reviews (AyC grenaders light, Dutch Masters Collection)

Well, I know almost everyone that visits this newsgroup is a Cigar snob, and
don't get me wrong... I love a Fuentes every now and again, but my wallet
won't let me enjoy them everyday.

So for the most part I'll smoke a Curly head, or.....Gasp! I'll go to my
local machine made stick seller and pick up the latest box of goodness.


Today, I smoked two of my favorites. An AyC Grenadier light, and a Dutch
Master "Masters Collection"


First the AyC. Its green! You don't come across many light skinned smokes
anymore. Most are natural or maduro. But not this one. Its a ugly looking
little stick with veins visible in the wrapper.
I light it up. Hmmm.... The smell is unique to this brand. spicy, but the
smoke is not heavy at all. light on the lips, not at all bad.
I smoke it over the course of 3 pilsner beers and I must say, they work
well together. Complementing each other without overwhelming the taste of
the other.

Over all I give this Cigar a 7 on a scale of 1-10 (this scale is JUST for
machine made cigars so keep that in mind.)




Next up is the Dutch Master cigar. Is a natural wrapper, chocolate it
color, and much prettier then the AyC. The cigar is a bit bigger the the
AyC. I think its a 50 ring.
So, I get the other 3 beers, and sitting out in the back yard, I light it
up. The smell is... not there. Not spicy, not strong, not anything. Its just
smoke. I take a few puffs. Its good! I was worried that it would be harsh,
but its not. its a light slightly sweet smoke.
About 1/2 into it, I have to look at the box again to make sure this isn't
a better quality cigar. I'm liking it, and as with the AyC its not
overwhelming the taste of my back yard beer.

I've got to say I can't believe I've never tried one of these before. I'll
be getting it again for sure. I give it a 9 on the same scale as before 1
being the worst and 10 being a perfect cigar (for a machine made! )


So there it is, I hope you enjoyed it. I did.

I do have a favor to ask... If there are others out there that do or have
smoked some machine made cigars, and your not just going to bash it to be
"cool" please post up a review or 2.


Thanks, and I'll follow up with other reviews as I smoke them.
